I have been daydreaming of owning millions of naira

mercytripletz:
By the way, who doesn't daydream of being rich?

mercytripletz:
Not an option, is it?

butterflyl1on:
^^^^
Op you would do well to ignore this post above mine.
He is simply toying with you as the atheist he is.

butterflyl1on:
What are the things you have noticed in your life recently, education, business, etc on your own prior to this dream?

hopefulLandlord:
This dream proves you have a future of acting in Hollywood horror movies, you're gonna be a big star like Christopher Lee and George Romero

PastorAIO:
Abeg please don't come and litter this thread with your nonsense.
I have not read past the part that I've quoted.
I'm not trying to rope you into anything and as you are sure it does not refer to you then just leave it.

The Christ that you are claiming there put it best:

And when Jesus heard it, he said to them,
“Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick.
I came not to call the righteous, but sinners.”
Mark 2: 17

So since you are so confident that you have no need of a physician
and you are not even aware that you have a problem then no wahala.
Go on your way

PastorAIO:
Religion is for people who have problems and need them resolved. Bye bye

Emmanystone:
Why bother with religion at all?

PastorAIO:
Good question.
Can I come back to this tomorrow? I've got to dash now.

Emmanystone:
Now is the tomorrow, so, yeah.

PastorAIO:
Thank you for the wonderful question.

I'll answer in in a number of stages:

1)What is religion?

2)What are the methods of religion?

3)How do we best manage the use of Cults in religion?

1- What is religion?
Ans: In a world where Mankind finds himself alienated and at odds with his state of reality, fractured from Divinity and from his environment, Religion is a means to Re-ligere, that is to re-bind, to reconnect him to his environment and to his Divinity.

PastorAIO:
2- What are the methods of religion?
Ans: There are many methods used in Religion, e.g sacrifices, fasting, observance of calendar days etc.

PastorAIO:
But for the issue of this topic the most important is the formation and cultivation of Cults.
What is the religious use of Cults?
There is a saying that birds of a feather flock together.
There is a characteristic that is shared amongst all members of a cult.
It is often not obvious at all, but over time even the newest members will become like the rest of the cult in that particular

Geist:
If I may PastorAIO, I would like to hear your thoughts on why humans end up having difference in moral judgement.

Geist:
Since this Apple

Geist:
ought to have made us like God

Geist:
(that is becoming a judge

Geist:
of what is right and wrong)

Geist:
shouldn't we all be having the same moral judgement?

Geist:
or do you believe God also has this different contradicting morals like humans do.

Geist:
Of course all these questions become useless if don't believe what the bible says as it says it.

Geist:
I would also like to hear your reasons for not wanting to base arguments on the bible

PastorAIO:
I just realise that I'm unhappy about the answer I gave above. I feel reluctant to base any arguments I make on this thread on bible passages.

The post which started this line of inquiry was copy-and-pasted from another Thread actually.

I would like to continue to talk about morality but without quoting from the bible.

Geist:
I am more than happy basing arguments on anything other than the bible so long as it makes sense and it's true.

Geist:
But I have noticed like I'm sure you have also noticed,
many people base arguments on the bible with little or no knowledge of it
From my perspective, it helps if one can counter untrue claims of what the bible says with what the bible actually says

Geist:
Which is why I asked specifically for bible passages. I value logical reason above all.

Emmanystone:
Wow. I miss you too.
I had to log out on the mundane to fuss into the supernatural for 21days.

Emmanystone:
Hybernating to renew Strength
for ' behold, darkness hasl covered the earth, and gross darkness the people:

Emmanystone:
but the LORD has risen upon us, and his glory shall be seen upon us'.
Hence, i went for that glory.

Emmanystone:
How have you been bro?

Mission2prosper:
Thanks sir.
Your answer made me remember the part of the bible that talks about the list of the eyes, the list of the flesh and the pride of life.

MuttleyLaff:
So it's only vagyna and/or boobs that are the only parts of the female body that arouses

hopefulLandlord:
Not necessarily but they tend to arouse more men in terms of numbers more than any part of the body does;
of course there are those that are aroused by intelligence, pretty face, height, smell, skin colour, voice, general figure or several other combinations but I believe those men are fewer than those aroused by naked boobs and vagyna; I stand to be corrected though

Emmanystone:
You can tell him that only one thing pollutes someone, PRIDE, because those other things emanates from Pride as fruits.

Pride gives rise to all other pollutants in a Man.

hopefulLandlord:
This is well thought post and I hope it invites good discussions regardless of subsequent poster's leanings

I however have to disagree with point 2; let me start by saying I do get the message that point is trying to drive home but I feel it ignored several important bits about human psychology and physiology
If women (I'll talk from the perspective of men) usually leave everywhere but their feet uncovered, only a few men would be aroused by naked female feet, I think I speak for most men when I say that unless uncovering one's feet signal sexual interest to whom she's showing the feet to we wouldn't be aroused, another way it could trigger arousal is if the vagyna and/or boobs are located in the female legs

GavelSlam:
His prick must still scratch him.

Won't be long now.

Jimmy Swaggart did more than this.

petra1:
As far as I know , After the Saga Otobo has moved on with her life as well as the apostle . We have all committed the matter to the judge of As I said that time . Let’s leave the matter to court and God Who will judge every man .

So suddenly out of nowhere Otobo comes out to confess her wrong and apologized and said people made her attack the man of God . And what was supervising me is funny comments here by church haters who claimed that apostle paid her to do it . Isn’t that crazy? . How on earth will someone think like that . That’s enough to nail the apostle . That would have been the deadliest weapon of Otobo against him . Why on earth would he need her confession . His members and followers believes in their pastor . His wife believes him . His ministry work is growing . It is very crazy to think he paid her . Keyamo will feast on that .

What benefit is the confession to apostle who has moved on .

Some even asked him to produce the people who she claimed paid her to set him up . Una no ask the girl wey talk . Na apostle Una Dey ask . Shame .

hopefulLandlord:
dunno why I don't get your mentions unless I come to the very thread or check for another mention only to see you mentioned me previously

hopefulLandlord:
unto your post, don't get me wrong, I'm not blaming the holy spirit

hopefulLandlord:
I'm asking as someone from outside looking in and these differences look trivial to me but to those inside these aren't not trivial at all as salvation heavily depends on this or at least that's what they say

hopefulLandlord:
There's a difference between

1. "They understand the teachings of the holy spirit different from the way we do but that doesn't make them wrong and us right or vice versa"
and
2. "They're totally wrong about this and don't have the holy spirit, they either aren't being taught by the holy spirit or they're being inspired by a spirit from the devil (or devil himself or demons or all of them) and won't make heaven"

the former sounds like what you're implying but the latter is actually how many Christian sects view other sects

Mission2prosper:
please can you list all the things in the World that pollutes someone it would really help

Mission2prosper:
I understand helping windows and orphans.

Memory Verse:
But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Spirit is come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:8

Text
And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;
17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.
John 14:16-17

But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.
John 14:26


And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me.
5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel?
7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.
Acts 1:4-8

And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
Acts 2:1-4

Introduction:
The Holy Spirit is Eternal Hebrews 9:14 (How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?). He enables us to see clearly and to focus. No one comes to the saving knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ except through the inner working of Holy Spirit.

The Deity Of Holy Spirit.
Who is a Deity?
A deity is a supernatural being considered divine or sacred.

The Holy Spirit is Eternal. Hebrews 9:14 (How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God!)
1. Holy Spirit is infinite & Omnipresent.
Act 2:17
"'In the last days, God says, I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams.

2. Holy Spirit is Omniscience.
1 Corinthians 3:17
If anyone destroys God's temple, God will destroy that person; for God's temple is sacred, and you together are that temple.

3. Holy Spirit is Sovereign.
Acts 11:12
And the spirit bade me go with them, nothing doubting. Moreover these six brethren accompanied me, and we entered into the man's house:


4. Holy Spirit is Lord.

Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.


5. Holy Spirit is the Spirit of The Father.
Matthew 10:12
When you enter the home, give it your blessing.

Characteristics Of The Holy Spirit.
The Spirit of God is a person as much as the Father and the Son are persons.

1. The Holy Spirit has a mind.
Romans 8:27
And he who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for God's people in accordance with the will of God.

2. The Holy Spirit has a Will.
1 Corinthians 12:11
But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

3. The Holy Spirit prohibits.
Acts 16:6-7
Now when they had gone throughout Phrygia and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the Holy Ghost to preach the word in Asia,

7 After they were come to Mysia, they assayed to go into Bithynia: but the Spirit suffered them not.


4. The Holy Spirit guides.
Acts 16:10
After Paul had seen the vision, we got ready at once to leave for Macedonia, concluding that God had called us to preach the gospel to them.

5. The Holy Spirit Speaks.
Acts 8:29
The Spirit told Philip, "Go to that chariot and stay near it."

Acts 10:19
While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, "Simon, three men are looking for you.

Acts 13:2
While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them."

The Functions Of The Holy Spirit.
The functions of the Holy Spirit are seen in:

1. The conception of Jesus Christ.
Luke 1:35
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.

2. Resurrection of Christ.
Romans 8:11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

3. The Work of Salvation and Regeneration of Souls.
John 3:8
The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

4. Sanctification.
1 Peter 1:2
Who have been chosen according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, through the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to be obedient to Jesus Christ and sprinkled with his blood: Grace and peace be yours in abundance.

5. Guidance.
Romans 8:14
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

6. Glorification.
2 Corinthians 3:18
But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.
7. The Holy Spirit teaches
John 14:26
But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.

8. The Holy Spirit empowers believers.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11
Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.

Conclusion:
The Holy Spirit persuades the heart to come to Christ, regenerates souls and sanctifies each child of God. The Holy Spirit is sovereign and has been at work since He descended on the day of Pentecost. The Holy Spirit empowers the Church/believers with the baptism of the Holy Spirit and gives gifts of the Holy Spirit to believers as He Wills.

hopefulLandlord:
bummyla, how do you reconcile your number 7 and the disagreements amongst Christian sects?

bummyla:
I don't understand!
Please explain further!

hopefulLandlord:
Okay, I'm talking about the disagreements within churches as a whole, one church sees the other(s) as heretic or not a true church.
from the very beginning, Churches have split and diverged and disagreed about matters of extreme consequence, and matters that seem (on the face of it) totally trivial.
From Arianism to "Mariolotry", from thefilioque to anti-trinitarian Oneness Pentecostalism, from hardline Feeneyism to Christian Universalism, from Quietism to televangelists ...
any doctrinal standpoint held by one Christian group is guaranteed to be held in contempt by other (ostensibly) fellow Christians.
Yet every last one of them claim to know this because Holy Spirit taught them; it seems holy spirit teaches contradictory things

That's what I was referring to

MizMyColi:
True that.
Another truth that resonates.
Co-signed.
Aii, your choice.

MizMyColi:
Lol. Was I fishing now, let's seeeeee...

MizMyColi:
Okay, I really wanted to know at the time because I just really wanted to know.
Plus, these stories have a way of gingering the spirit to just do more....and keep doing more.

MizMyColi:
Oh, that was Aunty Folake.
Bless her soul.
So you have seen my picture before??
And here I was thinking feeling fly on being anonymous

MizMyColi:
Hehehhehehe
*Evil grin*
At least I've not wrapped you around my fingers yet
Breathe, juuust breathe
In addition to the above, I would also add that I feel good being appreciated,
even though too much of it makes me feel uncomfortable. But hey, every now and then, it's called for

MizMyColi:
Oh well, when you find out that you are actually noticed by people who you'd ordinarily think don't know you or follow your antecedent,
then I'm sure you'd be curious to know what it is they know about you.
Soooo, Muttley, curiosity it was.
The feeling good part was secondary actually

MizMyColi:
Kikikikikikikikiki
Selfie oooo
Well, now I get you clearly.
Yes indeed, being vain is a human fraility. I did not think of myself as being vain though.
The phrase just came to my head and I sha typed it.

MizMyColi:
But I wasn't being vain nau.
Haahahahaha

Gosh, is that not being vain

MizMyColi:
Okay. In other words, compassion is a religion, yeah?

MizMyColi:
A true religion at that. Okay.

MizMyColi:
I accept the first part of that statement, not the second

MizMyColi:
What does it mean exactly to be polluted by the world.

MizMyColi:
Perhaps, we can deal with that, then I know my stand

MizMyColi:
But the ego and true self work together when applied correctly, yeah?

MizMyColi:
C'mon, what does it hurt to make a sister feel good, eh?

MizMyColi:
Aha, lemme guess the altruistic stuff: part of my converso with mujta, yeah?

MizMyColi:
Eeewwww, I wouldn't describe as such.
It just shows I'm human, and being human is a beautiful thing,
the ability to want to feel good about self and deeds should not be viewed as a fraility of sorts

MizMyColi:
Eh, well, I'm human, so what do I know

PastorAIO:
So let me get this straight.
A dangerous politician pays a woman to lie on Suleman's head.
She collects the money and does the deed.

Then she later recants.
Is she not afraid of the politician that has wasted his money on her?
Does she think that the guy would just let her go after he paid her? He will at least ask for his money back.

She is obviously not afraid of the politician so let her reveal his name.

I would also recommend that Suleman should sue her for libel, not because he wants money, or out of spite,
but because it is the right thing to do as it will dissuade other libelous people in the future.

MizMyColi:

Cool.
So tell me about a religion that you think is true.

MizMyColi:
Does it have a name?

MizMyColi:
Oh please tell me about those ocassions.

MizMyColi:
I enjoy reliving stuff like that.

MizMyColi:
Gosh, is that not being vain

MizMyColi:
Hiaaaan

But why does it feel like you are attacking me nau

MizMyColi:
I was merely repeating what google said o.

MizMyColi:
Except of course you wish to know my view of the emboldened

MizMyColi:
You are right about the compassion bit

MizMyColi:
But when you think of what the world has become today in the name if religion, and I mean this on all fronts, thennn, it really leaves much to be desired.

Concerning Stephanie Otobo’s Apology to Apostle Suleiman

by Deji Yesufu

I have been receiving messages on social media informing me that Ms. Stephanie Otobo has confessed to being sponsored by politicians to tarnish the image of “Apostle” Suleiman, and in the process she has apologized to him and sort his forgiveness.

Many reactions have followed this confession. I am just reading Daddy Freeze’s response to it, where he stated that Otobo would need to go further to mention the names of the politicians and pastors that sent her on this mission. He also suggested that the account number and various bank transactions that followed should be published. These were my thoughts initially too but I have since decided to look at the matter from another perspective.

In Ibadan, I am a leading Suleiman antagonist. When the “apostle” came to University of Ibadan last year April, I led a one man protest against him; for which I was arrested and later released. I have since documented my position against the so called apostle of Christ and I shall not be rehearsing those here.

Suffice to say, however, that observers of the religious scene in Nigeria have noticed a sudden wave of confessions and apologies and forgiveness that seem to be following the numerous cases of Pastors’ philandering. Just last week, Kemi Olunloyo was also videoed pleading for David Ibiyeomi to forgive her. I am convinced the whole thing is scripted.

But let me make my point clear on it still...

The issues that I have with Nigerian Pentecostal Pastors is not primarily in regards to what they do but rather what they preach. Their actions are simply products of the false gospel they propagate. So whether or not they are caught in scandals, they are not absolved from the sure damnation that shall come upon them and those who listen to them.

While the gospel of prosperity is damnable heresy, Nigerian Pentecostal preachers have taken the teaching to an extent that will make its American inventors cringe in shame. The worst part of this all is that they are exporting this so called gospel en-masse to foreign countries; and the worst kind of churches you want to attend abroad are “Nigerian Churches”.

Regardless of whether these Pastors are caught in scandals or not, what they preach is already a scandalous gospel and it is doing their listeners and this nation no good. These preachers must be called what they are: false prophets.

By the way, there is massive billboard of David Ibiyeomi just erected close to Awolowo Junction, at the heart of Ibadan. It informs Ibadan resident that “Salvation Ministries” has come to the city; so go to that church to your own souls’ peril.
Do I regret protesting Suleiman?

I do not. I would likely not carry out a protest in such a fashion again
but I am thankful that I did what my heart instructed me to do that day
and I am grateful to God for keeping me through the process of making that statement.

The fact remains that in April 2017, some weight allegations were being bandied against a man. My protest bordered essentially against those who permitted him to come to minister to young minds. What if he was guilty as alleged? Then he would have polluted the spirit of those young people with his perverse spirit. It is bad enough that he preaches a false gospel; should he also combine it all with a perverse spirit?
I am convinced that in the days to come, the real drama behind all these so called confessions shall be unveiled.
But regardless of what is unveiled: there are pastors in this Pentecostal churches who will do two things,
some of them will never be caught in a scandal; others will be involved in scandals but will cover it all up.
But none of them will escape the judgement of the Most High God.

JUST APOLOGISE PERIOD.

MizMyColi:

But it's google A.I that said the religion is complicated, I'm still learning bit.

MizMyColi:
I popped same questions on my Google A.I and it tells me...

Religion can be quite complicated, I'm still learning.

MizMyColi:
So why the difference in claims?

PROPHETmichael:
Google Home Assistant Refuses to Define Jesus Christ, but No Problem with Muhammad, Buddha

Google’s Home A.I. assistant refused to define Jesus Christ in an experiment recorded by television producer David Sams, but happily defined Muhammad and Buddha.
When asked who Jesus Christ is, the Google Home replied, “Sorry, I’m not sure how to help” or “My apologies I don’t understand.”

Sams posted a Facebook video of the test on Wednesday.

“I even asked Google who is David Sams? Google knew who I was, but Google did not know who Jesus was, Google did not know who Jesus Christ was, and Google did not know who God was,” claimed Sams. “It’s kinda scary, it’s almost like Google has taken Jesus and God out of smart audio.”

“I don’t know if there’s some kind of wizard making these decisions
or if it’s some kind of oversight,” he continued. “But whatever it is, they need to address it immediately.”

Despite not being able to tell Sams who Jesus Christ was, it recited biographies of other religious leaders including Muhammad and Buddha.

When Sams asked Amazon’s Alexa A.I. assistant — a competitor to the Google Home, who Jesus Christ was — it promptly recited the Wikipedia page.
